Ideally located between downtown Greenville and downtown Travelers Rest, our little tiny home getaway is nestled in the historic Union Bleachery neighborhood and has it’s own private entrance off the back drive. It is just a hop, skip and a jump from the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a bike trail running between Travelers Rest and Greenville along the old Swamp Rabbit Rail Line. Guests can actually gain access to the trail from the paved Lakeview Link that leads from Lakeview Middle School in the neighborhood to the trail. Also nearby is Furman University with their famous Clock Tower and garden paths. This is also a great location with a short drive if you plan to attend one of the many concerts or productions in downtown Greenville. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycle parking ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, individually furnished, desk, laptop workspace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69720000/69716800/69716747/464c71ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### stayAPT Suites Greenville-Haywood Mall Greenville - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 188 reviews CA $180 CA $198 total includes taxes & fees Oct 26 - Oct 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=69716747&PinnedHotelID=69716747&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98480000/98477800/98477740/e7b1a0cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sticks & Twine great cabin on a working farm on Paris Mountain close to it all Greenville - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 12 reviews CA $264 CA $462 total includes taxes & fees Oct 27 - Oct 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=98477740&PinnedHotelID=98477740&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27133500/27133491/bdaa5d5b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique 75 year old converted barn with beautiful loft bedroom.

Not hilly at all and places to eat/browse along the way. The tiny house, emphasis on tiny, where we stayed was delightful. Lots of quirky art work, mostly created by the owners, were most enjoyable. While the owners made good use of the space it is still very intimate. All in all we enjoyed our stay and plan to come again. ##### Nancy C.

It had two extremely close and easy ways to jump on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The space was clean, excellent linens and decorated in amazing ways (think I want to redecorate after being there). A private marked parking spot by the door and well lit. Extra linens, towels and supplies just in case. We cannot wait to return!!! ##### Valerie T.

Easy in and out. Water pressure was great. And after a long day drive and staying up late for a concert in the downtown area coming back to a super quiet area was the best. I got a great nights sleep because the bed was not to soft and not to firm or squeaky. Temperature was easily controlled and it was super dark. Woke up ready for the long drive home. ##### Ange E.
